The Temperance Issue.

The New York Tribune In late issue has a
very strong article upon the wisdom of direct
and above-board dealing with the Temperance
Issue. The errors of the Republican canvass
in New York are now admitted to be in n mega
tive policy, or at least an undecided one, on the
liquor problem, and in an unfortunate nomina-
tion at the head Of the ticket. The theory Of
the Tribune that practical measures against
the liquor business strengthens instead Of
weakens the party is correct. Its statement
that 'courage is the best policy is sound toct-
rine. Courage and movement forward In
Massachusetts on the temperance issue did much
to send up the plurality to nearly $4,000. The
sooner 1t is everywhere understood that the
Republican party Is divorced from the saloon
influence, never again to lock hands with 1t.
the sooner the great moral support of the coun-
try will come to its aid against the yiest COM
bination that ever assaulted good government.

The Buck Memorial Library.

Through the courtesy Of the Union Publish
ing Co., publishers of the Bucksport Clipper, we
are enabled to place cut of this building before
our readers, with the following account of it
from our esteemed contemporary the Clipper
During the life of r. p. Buck, Esq, he many
times expressed great interest in the matter
of establishing library in this his native town.
Yet the cares Of his immense business in New
York, no doubt, prevented him from CARRYING
out his plans while alive and caused an omis-
sion in his will of providing for its establish
mcnt. His widow and daughter Emma under
standing we'll the wishes and desires of Mr..
Buck in the matter, undertook two years ago
TO carry them out, and the result Is the beauti-
ful Buck Memorial Library, erected on the cor
ner of Main and School streets a cut of which
heads this article. This building is built of
Blue Hill granite and lined with brick Its eX-
terror, as is shown In the cut, is Of Il TASTY de-
SIGN and pleasing effect. The interior is finish
ell in hard pine. coated with hard oil surface
si:owin. every grain and natural spot on the
wood. The lower walls throughout are sheath
ed with beaded finish, while the upper walls
and ceiling are coruscant cornccs and freScoed
in panels, the whole effect being beautiful and
pleasing to the eye. The library room is in the
west side and is 29Nl7 feet, with book alcoyes

place on the other. 1t is lighted by three large
and costly hanging lamps. The reading room
is in the east end and is 23x19 feet This is fit
ted up with very nice large hardwood table
which line crayon portrait of Mr.. Buck looks
down upon the visitors. Two very
pretty chandeliers containing two large lamps
depend from the ceiling. The porch and hall
are lighted by large dependent lamps. The hall
Is 1OX12 feet and the attendants room at the end
OF the hall is 10X7 feet Adjoining the attend-
ants room is a cloak room aud the entrance TO
the cellar. The cellar containing the furnace,
Is model of neatness and workmanship.
This building with all its appurtcnances has
been decided to the following named trustees:
5. B. Swazay, O. Z. Cunningham. n. T. Hin,
L. Spo1ord, A. l.. Skinner. Geo. BloLeett. X.
Is. Stovcr: to have and hold the same for the
use of the people of Bucksport. The old social
library organized in the year 1906 has been
merged into the new and has turned in all of its
books, about 2000 volumes. Rules and re@ula-
tions will soon be announced. The reading
room will be free to the public. All RESPONSE
bic persons will probably have use of the books
upon payment of small fee. Mrs. Buck has
already left $40 to supply the immediate wants
for periodicals, magazine. etc. 1t will he opened
to the public i'll the early winter.
While our citizens arc thanking Mrs. Buck
and her daughter Emma for this unique and
valuable ornament to our village. we hone she
will also hear the copous congratulations over
the fact that they have erected Il memorial to
the memory of a beloved husband and father
that may last for ''thousand years or more

The Panama Canal Dead.

Private letters received in New York city
from Panama report as follows: No work of
any Importance Is being done on the canal
Two leading firms Of contractors are said to be
embarrassed financially. Another prominent
contractor claims over $9OO, 900 from the COM
pany. Several important judgments have been
filed against the company. Several seizures and
dead already, said prominent engineer the
other day, though the efforts in Paris to gal
vanize the remains may keep up an appearance
for some time to come. The importation Of the
poor Liberians still continues. They are mag
nitcent specimens of manhood, coal black. 1t
was fondly believed that they could resist this
death-dealing climate. But it has proved other
wise. OF the 2S2 who were the first to be
brought here, 36 died within four months. The
statement Of NJ. Blanchet, in his recent work
on the Panama Canal, says that the canal has
already cost over 10000 lives, and is believed
by careful observers here to be no eXaggera-
tion.

FLOATING WRECKS ON THE OCEAN.

A Woman's Reason, W. u. Iowels's new
novel, appears in the handsome Ticknor Paper
series. The pathos and power Of this story
have been universally praised. and successive
editions of the Century Magazine were issued
in order to meet the popular demand for its
delightful chapters. Many critics hailed in "A
Woman's Reason return to Mr.. HoweIls's
earlier manner, full of the thrill of feeling,
and others have pronounced IT an advance on
any Of his previous work. The Independent
pronounces 1t "one of his most finished pro-
ductions"; the Inter-Ocean praises its "soft-
ness of atmosphere and exquisite tenderness; !;
and the Boston Advertiser finds it ''drawn
with the hand of an artist-tle vivid power Of
imagination in all its potent charm." The
Critic says that 1t will be read with delight
''fOr speaking Of n group Of two chapters
merelyJ this author, eminent in delicate touches
and detail, has crowded into this single number
more dramatic incidents and clever character
drawing than he has sometimes thought suf-
ticieut for an entire novel;" There can be no
doubt that great success awaits the book in
Its new and cheaper form, and that Its nobly
drawn characters will become even more wide
ly known among all cultivated readers. The
beautiful character Of Helen Harkness. and
the great problems of life that she was called
upon to work out (like so many Of our sisters).

valuable instruction to all readers.

venting delicious drink from the maguev
plant-supposed to be the identical pulque of
to-day. Wishing to bring the new beverage into
royal favor, he sent his only daughter-Xo Xochitl,
1.-THE Flower of TOllen"-as cup-bearer to the
King. Nochit pronounced Hor- cheat-ll J,

TopeltSn that, after he had guzzled an inordi-
nate amount Of her fathers pulque, he caused
the youthful Hebe to be shut up in his pal
ace, where he kept her a prisoner for many
years.
So it happened that civil wars arose, to which
famine and pestence were added, and by the
middle of the eleventh century the great To-
tee empire had pershed from the earth. The
famisled and piague-stricken people, believing
Tula to be accursed Of the gods, deserted the
capital and scattered to the southwark over a
wide eNpansc Of territory. But it was only as
a nation that they disappeared, for many Of
them continued to live in the country and eX-
crted an important interest upon the various
tribes that later invaded the valley of Mexico
After the scattering Of the Toltecs, about
fifty years elapsed before the territory was in
vaded by another powerful tribe. These were
the Chichimecs, said by some historians to be
the Oldest nation in MeXico-probabIy because
the name, Nichimec, was also applied to all
unknown tribes. At one time they were bar
barous people, wandering naked in the noun
tains. They were not famous for conquests
but took possession of all territory they found
unoccupied. In course Of time they became
civilized and established IL monarchy which
counted fourteen kings and continued four
hundred years, from the years 1l20, to the
coming OF the Spaniards in 1920.
1t did not take long for the va@abond Chichi-

to discover that something had happened in
Tula: so they sent scouts into the Toltec terri

formation that the city was deserted and the
nation gone. So they cautiously advanced in-
